hey Jonathan here at top saw I teach high school math and woodshop I do tree
work on the weekends bring the wood in I also teach CNC manufacturing today's
video I was going to go over my top ten wooden CNC projects just to give you
some ideas if you're getting started in wood CNC so stay tuned and I'll go over
top ten wooden
yeah I got a few projects here I got 10 in my top introductory wood projects for
the CNC students have built electric guitars please like a flat-pack chair
but before we start doing those we start with really small wood projects to get
an idea of design how the CNC works how cutters work is really the best way to
get started so let me start it off with my top 10 wood CNC projects actually
when I say wood C&C I mean both woodworking tools CNC tools and some
digital fabrication tools like a laser but project number one the easiest to
get started using the table saw as a desktop sign so it has a bevel the
offcut just gets glued on the back and either you see and see a name in there
or you laser engrave a name in there so this project number one router bit round
over not on the edges there's a desktop sign almost all of these projects I have
videos for so I'll put links to those videos in the description below project
number 2 is like a little toy dinosaur so this is multiple pieces I think this
is actually only two different parts all four of those legs are the same but this
is kind of a creative project they need to sketch this out first and then figure
out how to draw it and those CNC software and then cut it out and
assemble it you know if they want the legs to move or not these are just
dowels right there cells project number two project number three is a Mother's
Day gift this is a mom sign right here it's also could get mounted on the wall
and you could hang your keys on it you can put your keys in there so it could
be a key holder in the wall when you come in for Mother's Day the other thing
it could do to you is I actually have a bevel cut on there and then on that
bevel if you actually put a wine bottle in there it'll balance so
kind of a cool project so that's a Mother's Day project that's number three
number four is a cutting board this is a salmon so you know that this has both
inlays in it and glue lambs know if you can see there ya see the inlays there
and then the cut out this is a really good project fixed earring this is kind
of the key just as project number four
project number five is the trivet a two-sided trivet whatever kind of design
you want so this is all three quarter inch hardwood or thirteen sixteenths
there's a design there and then you flip it over on the back it's a similar
design and then kind of the pastor he's kind of nice-looking with the light
there's project number five project number six and MDF right here is this
puzzle so there are two pieces here the bottom piece has a pocket cut out of it
and then your dowels are stored and then there are three holes for the sink
pivots back and forth project number seven is a tangram puzzle
this one's painted so this is the tray as a pocket cutout in there and then
there's a 10-gram pieces I like this a lot really nice layout wouldn't whatever
software you're designing in and the paint really gives it a lot a lot more
pop on a woodworker self project number eight is this little jewelry box I'll
cut on the CNC so it's like an open book usually run them together they're pocket
on both sides and then they're held together with dowels
let's project number eight either a CNC engrave on the front or a laser engrave
that's a nice simple project not that much wood project number nine is a fruit
bowl this is kind of a cool project and how this fruit bowl works is every
little square it fits inside the other one so it's only one piece of wood and
then you got to take into account the quarter inch bit and the waist you're
going to create so that's project number nine this one
comes out really well it doesn't use very much wood fear but a CNC to figure
it out and a fair bit of fine woodworking as well that's number nine
and project number ten is a cell phone amplifier so this is a hard one because
they have to design this off of their own phones so the phone fits in there
and then right here has to be the speaker of the phone and then the
speaker broadcasts into this speaker and it amplifies it out this one was
actually cut on the laser but it's just as easy to cut it on the C&C not that I
have negative cavities here so the way I did this one this is all quarter inch
MDF and then glued together so all the pieces are cut glued together and I
think the only cut at the end is cutting that bevel on the table saw so those are
my top ten wooden CNC projects for a high school and community college if you
could make your way through all ten of those projects you really have a great
set of woodworking CNC skills and then you could really move on to all sorts of
other wood CNC projects I don't know if I've videos for how to do every one of
them but probably for a lot of them so thanks for watching I appreciate it and
comment on how the projects came out for you
